Portion control, made simple.
 The Seal-a-Meal® System helps support your healthy lifestyle with quick and easy portion control. When it's time for dinner, all you have to do is remove your serving-sized entrée from the freezer and pop it into the microwave—without having to think about measuring or weighing anything along the way. Here are some more tips:
- Create custom-sized bags for small portions of meat, poultry and fish or vegetables and fruit of all sizes, using the Built-in Bag Roller and Cutter on your Vacuum Food Sealer or Bag Roll Holder and Cutter accessory.
- Divide large entrees into serving-size portions and only thaw and heat the minimum amount you need, to avoid the temptation to eat more.
- Keep the following portion sizes in mind when choosing how much to eat:
| FOOD AMOUNT: |
EQUIVALENT TO: |
| 3 ounces of meat, poultry or fish |
A deck of playing cards or the palm of a
woman's hand |
| 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish |

Three regular ice cubes |
